Francesca Niccacci Deruta Italy Lavanda Hand Painted Majolica Vase 11.5"

A striking example of Italian majolica artistry, this large two-handled vase by Francesca Niccacci brings Renaissance-inspired decoration to a sculptural, rounded form. The front features an elaborate cobalt-blue and ochre medallion with stylized mythical creatures, framing the word “LAVANDA”—Italian for lavender. Turquoise-green handles, expressive blue scrollwork, and a complementary painted design on the reverse make this a beautiful statement piece from every angle. Display it on a console, mantel, or shelf as an accent in a traditional, eclectic, or collected interior.
